TNITE STATES SAMUEL BROCK EDSON, OF MONTEREY, INDIANA.

HARNESS-HOOK.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 295,374, dated March 18, 1884.

Application filed December 29, 1883. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL BROOK EDSON, of Monterey,in the county of Pulaski and State of Indiana, have invented a new and useful Iniprovem ent in Harness-Hooks, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the annexed drawings, forming part of this specification.

This invention consists of a rigid hook orbuckle adapted to be used in the place of an ordinary snap-hook on harness, check-lines, and halter-straps, as hereinafter described and claimed. A

In the drawings, Figure 1 is an edge View of the hook, showing astrap and ring attached thereto. Fig. 2 is a plan View of the same, and Fig. 3 is asection on line a: a: of Fig. 1.

A indicates the body of the hook, formed of a bent plate,and provided with apin or tongue, a, located approximately near the end of the hook, and loops 0 c d e about equally distributed on its outer surface, for holding the strap B,Which incloses the said plate. The plateis provided with a guard, C,which is in alignment with the end of the hook, the space he 25 tween the said end and the guard forming an opening, D, by which the ring E is to enter the hook. The outer surface of the curved portion of the hook is made slightly concave, as shown in Fig. 3.

I am aware that a hook has been secured to a strap by means of passing the strap around the outside of the hook and engaging it with a pin on the outside thereof, and confining its ends within a loop; and I do not claim such, broadly.

Having thus described my invention,what I claiin,and desire to secure by Letters Patent,

The hook having the curved body Afornied with a concaved outer surface, and provided with pin a, located approximately near the end of the hook, and loops b ed e and guard 0, substantially as shown and described.

SAML. BROOK EDSON.
